At the beginning, you will meet a fox demon and be taught the art of immortality

In order to allow Chi Jiao and the little fox demon to enjoy the benefits of Qingcheng Sect, Su Rui asked them for their opinions. After getting their affirmative answers, he took them straight to the Internal Affairs Hall.

The registration of the outer disciples of Qingcheng Sect was very simple. They only left their names and a trace of their own breath, and Chi Jiao and the little fox demon got the outer disciple identity card. The biggest difference between the outer disciples and Su Rui's true disciples was that they did not leave soul lamps. The meaning was very clear: the sect did not care about the life and death of the outer disciples!

The sect's admission review for outer disciples is very easy, as long as they are not extremely evil people.

Correspondingly, the sect also has strict restrictions on outer disciples, that is: outer disciples cannot enter the sect's important place "Xuan Miao Temple" at will, unless the head of the sect or the elders in charge of various halls summon them. Of course, there is an unwritten exception, which is to enter the "Xuan Miao Temple" accompanied by a true disciple or an inner disciple. However, in this way, if an outer disciple violates the rules, it will be counted on the head of the accompanying true disciple or inner disciple. Obviously, this is the true disciple or inner disciple who guarantees it!

After Chi Jiao and the little fox demon obtained the status of outer disciples, they followed Su Rui to the Sutra Library again.

When I entered the sect this time, the old Taoist "senior brother" was still sleeping soundly.

However, he once again gave a hint through the mysterious Taoist method: "Outer disciples can only browse the collections in the Sutra Library on the first floor. True disciples have no restrictions on browsing the collections except the top floor. But no matter whether they are outer disciples or true disciples, they must not destroy the treasures in the pavilion, otherwise they will be expelled from the sect and their skills will be taken back!"

Su Rui held the little fox demon and the red dragon and bowed to the old Taoist priest to show that he understood. Then he slowly walked into the first floor of the Sutra Library.

The Sutra Library on this floor has five huge bookshelves filled with various scrolls and bamboo slips, which are differentiated by the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches such as Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding.

Su Rui walked around the bookshelf and found that most of the books here were miscellaneous, including top martial arts secrets, anecdotes, basic spells, essays on mountains and rivers, various strange skills and tricks, investigations into gods, deductions of numbers, illustrations of animals and plants, Buddhist, Taoist, demonic and monster classics, etc. It can be said that there is everything.

It can be said that most of the books are the type of books that Su Rui likes to read, which makes Su Rui very excited and feels like he is back in the university library. When he was in college, except for the eve of exams, the books he read the rest of the time were just miscellaneous books of this type.

However, Su Rui also keenly felt that there were no complete sets of skills or techniques in these books, not even the notes from the master that Zhang Beiyang mentioned!

So he asked Chi Jiao to stay on the first floor of the Sutra Library with the little fox demon, and he walked towards the door leading to the second floor alone.

The portal to the second floor was set with a powerful restriction. Su Rui bumped into it and tried to break through the restriction to see if he could enter the portal, but the restriction bounced back and he was almost injured internally.

"I wonder if attacking with sword energy will bounce the sword energy back?" Su Rui thought to himself. But he didn't dare to try it. He followed the instructions written on the wall with a sharp sword, took out his identity card, injected a wisp of Shangqing Zhenqi, held the card in front of him and walked into the door.

As if he was passing through a layer of transparent water curtain, Su Rui felt that his whole body was scanned. After a chill, he finally broke through the restriction and saw the wooden stairs leading to the second floor.

The space on the second floor is as large as that on the first floor, but it appears more spacious because it only has three bookshelves.

What surprised Su Rui was that there were people on the second floor of the Sutra Library. There were four people in total, one was a short but quiet-looking girl, another was an eight or nine-year-old boy with two pigtails on his head, and two young men, one looked honest and kind, and the other had a big belly and a slightly upturned mouth, looking like a man with a blessed appearance.

Among them, a girl and a boy were sitting alone, one in the south and the other in the north. The girl was reading quietly, and the boy had a bamboo book in front of him. He frowned and looked like he was thinking hard, as if he had encountered some problem. The two young men were sitting side by side, the honest one was reading a book, and the fat one was meditating with his eyes closed.

After hearing Su Rui's footsteps, several people looked up, and seeing that Su Rui was a stranger, they looked at him with scrutiny.

The girl was closer to the entrance of the second floor. After looking at Su Rui, she asked, "Junior brother, are you a new inner sect disciple?"

Su Rui shook his head and said, "True disciple!"

When the girl heard this, she immediately looked around with her beautiful eyes and asked, "What's your name, Junior Brother?"

Su Rui bowed and responded, "Su Qinghe, hello to my senior sister and all the senior brothers!"

"My name is Li Yunmei, and I'm currently serving in the library. If you need me, you can call me anytime!" the girl replied in a soft voice.

The honest-looking young man nodded to him in a friendly manner and whispered two words: "Xue Teng!"

The fat young man smiled and said, "My name is Huang Guo!"

Only the boy showed an angry look, with a cold look in his eyes and a heavy snort at him.

"I may have to trouble you in the future, senior sister!" Su Rui smiled at the "librarian" girl.

He then clasped his fists towards the two young brothers and said, "Greetings, Brother Xue and Brother Huang!"

Then he just ignored that weird little brat and didn't even look at him.

Afterwards, everyone quieted down and returned to the state before Su Rui came up. Su Rui quickly scanned the bookshelves one by one as usual, and found that most of the books on the second floor were Taoist secrets, and there were also many books on swordsmanship, magic, alchemy, and refining. The handwritten notes left by the teachers mentioned by Zhang Beiyang were on this floor and occupied one layer of the bookshelf.

When the boy with a pigtail saw Su Rui staying on the second floor, he felt uncomfortable as if he had lice on his body. He angrily threw the book in his hand back to the bookshelf next to him and walked down the stairs with a thump.

Su Rui ignored this and just immersed himself in reading the books. However, he did not read them in depth. At most, he would read the first few paragraphs to understand what the book was about and then put it down.

After he had quickly glanced over the names of the books and bamboo scrolls on the second floor, he followed the same method, using the wooden identity card to open the door to the third floor and ran up to the third floor of the library.

The space on this floor is divided into three parts. There is only one bookshelf in the main hall in the middle, with only a dozen or so books and a few letters from teachers.

Su Rui took a quick look and found that they were all complete sets of exercises, and the "Yin Yang Tong Hua Jue", "Yuan Shen Zhen Jing" and "Xiantian Gengjin Sword Jue" passed down to him by Master Yu'e were among them. There were also several sword techniques and Qi refining techniques, but just looking at the names you could tell they were not simple.

This time, Su Rui did not just skim through it, but picked up the Xiantian Gengjin Sword Art and read it carefully. This volume of Xiantian Gengjin Sword Art was no different from the one taught by Yu'e Zhenren, except that it had many more explanations, which cost Su Rui a lot of energy.

Afterwards, he found a volume titled "Qingcheng Shangqing Heart Secret Volume" on the bookshelf and began to read it word by word. Before this, he had transformed the Shangqing true Qi through the "Yin Yang Tonghua Jue", but failed to practice the "Xiantian Gengjin Sword Jue" to the second level of sword control because he lacked the assistance of this heart method.
